A lyrical, engrossing tale, by the author of WATERSHIP DOWN, Richard Adams creates a lyrical and engrossing tale, a remarkable journey into the hearts and minds of two canine heroes, Snitter and Rowf, fugitives from the horrors of an animal research center who escape into the isolation--and terror--of the wilderness.

This is definitely not a book for children and not for the faint of heart neither. The atrocities of animal experimentation are vividly described, but all of the experiments Adams described were apparently real.

Used hardback book with dustjacket. Dustjacket has some wear and tears, especially at the edges. Pages are clean and in excellent condition.
